EDUCATION IS POWER

By -

     As the saying goes “Education is power” what power? The power to bring out what’s in you of potential, talent, skill, etc. but unfortunately, the youths have misinterpreted that power to mean money, fame, riches, etc. so what resonates in the heads of the youth is “Education is money” as such they would do anything to get degrees even if it involves using crook means like examination malpractice.
    This accounts for why we have many students doing courses not meant for them, worker working not for development but for the salary and teachers teaching not to impact but to get paid.

THE FAIR FULL MOON

By -
Tonight as I gazed at the moon in its full, I can’t but praise the one and only who placed such a fair, gentle and warm body in the sky. I wished I could move closer to it and look even more at its beauty but suddenly this wish changed as I remembered the one who is brighter than the sun and fairer than the moon- Rosulullah(s.a.w). I long to meet him, do you? May Allah(s.w.t) unite us by his mercy with our Nabi(s.a.w). From the desk of a creative Muslim Abdultoyyib ibn Musediq

GENDER EQUALITY AS A BONE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN BOTH GENDERS

By -
This topic for an argument is as null and void, in my opinion, as some other topics that we would debate over in school examples of which includes ‘boys are better than girls’, ‘farmers are better and doctors’, etc. In an argument like ‘farmers are better than doctors’, what differentiation are we trying to make between the farmers and the doctors? With what do we intend to raise the status of the farmers over the doctors? The farmers have their role to play and a contribution to make in the development process just like the doctors, at some point some of these roles are the same while at other points the differ from one another. Both personalities are needed and we really can’t do with just one of them without the other- the doctors to cater for our health and the farmer to help in producing food for the increasing population alongside other civic duties. Similarly, both genders have their role to play in societal, national and global development. However, some of these roles ar...

TECHNOLOGICAL DELUSION

By -
With the advancement in technology, one would expect life becoming easier, people becoming more efficient but reverse seems to be the case, the invention of mobile devices like Smartphones   that were suppose to increase people’s efficiency is having a negative impact on (some of) them, we have people becoming more lazy, useful times that could be spent on developmental issues are wasted on mobile phones on not-so-important issues like chatting, downloading, uploading, reading unnecessary post, etc. If you interpret this to mean that social networking is bad, you’re wrong. Chatting of course is a cheap means of   connecting people, what I am saying is that for a youth, spending too much time on this could be destructive especially when it begins to distract one from the original purpose of his/her existence(the worship of Allah(s.w.t)) or one gets addicted to it. Never has the use of social media been an indispensable criterion for success. We have youths who can’t even...
